The settings knobs are used to increase or decrease the set values when setting
numerical values. In the measurements menu, the knobs for welding current / wire
feed speed, arc voltage or travel motion are used.

1.4.2 Setting with given alternatives

Some settings are made by selecting an option from a list.

This is an example of the list:

6 FUNCTION EXPLANATIONS

6.1 CA, constant amperage

The wire feed is controlled by the power source so that a constant amperage can be
achieved.

- Constant current value can be selected in the main menu.

6.2 CW, constant wire feed

The welding current is a result of the selected wire feed speed.

- Constant wire feed can be selected in the main menu.

6.3 Wire / electrode dimension

The table on page 60 shows the wire / electrode dimensions that can be selected.

Selected dimensions have a great impact on the start procedure and crater filling.
When welding with other wire dimensions other than those found in the table, select
one that has a dimension close to one in the list.

- Wire / electrode dimension can be selected in the main menu.

6.4 Arc voltage

Higher arc voltage increases the arc length and produces a hotter, wider weld pool.

- The arc voltage is set in the measurement display, weld data setting menu, or fast
mode menu.

6.5 Wire feed speed

This sets the required feed speed of the filler wire in cm/minute.

- The wire feed speed is set in the measurement display, weld data setting menu, or
fast mode menu.

6.6 Travel speed

Travel speed indicates the required speed (cm/min) at which a column and boom or
trolley is to move.

- The travel speed is set in the measurement display, weld data setting menu, or fast
mode menu.

6.7 Welding direction

Travel motion in the direction that the symbol indicates.

- Welding direction is selected in the weld data setting menu.

bi24d1ea

- 20 -

GB

6.8 Flux pre-flow

This controls the time during which flux flows before the arc is struck.

- Flux pre-flow is set in the weld data setting menu under start data.

6.9 Gas pre-flow

This controls the time during which shielding gas flows before the arc is struck.

- Gas pre-flow is set in the weld data setting menu under start data.

6.10 Air pre-flow

This controls the time during which air flows before the arc is struck.

- Air pre-flow is set in the weld data setting menu under start data.

6.11 Start type

There are two options for start type:

S Direct start, means that the travel speed starts when the arc is struck.

S Scrape start, means that the travel speed starts at the same time as wire feed.

- Start type is selected in the weld data setting menu under start data.

6.12 Wire creep start

Wire creep start is used to set the desired creep speed on the electrode motor upon
start-up.

If, for example, 50 is set in the menu a creep speed of 50 cm/min is obtained.

Preset value ”AUTO” gives a creep speed calculated from the set values.

- Wire creep speed is set in the weld data setting menu under start data.

6.13 Start phases

When welding special wire or material, it may be necessary to create your own start
sequence. The start sequence can affect the appearance of the weld pool.

Time for welding in phase 1.

S Arc voltage %

In percent of set voltage

S Wire feed %

S Welding current %

Time for welding in phase 2.

S Arc voltage %

In percent of set voltage

S Wire feed %

In percent of set wire feed

S Welding current %

In percent of set welding current

S Travel speed %

In percent of set travel speed

6.14 Max Open Circuit Voltage (OCV)

ON means that OCV can be set.

OFF means that OCV is set to the set value for welding voltage.

- OCV is set in the weld data setting menu under start data.

6.15 Flux post-flow

This controls the time during which flux flows after the arc is extinguished.

- Flux post-flow is set in the weld data setting menu under stop data.

6.16 Gas post-flow

This controls the time during which shielding gas flows after the arc is extinguished.

- Gas post-flow is set in the weld data setting menu under stop data.

6.17 Air post-flow

This controls the time during which air flows after the arc is extinguished.

- Air post-flow is set in the weld data setting menu under stop data.

6.18 Crater filling

Crater filling makes a controlled reduction in the heat and size of the weld pool
possible when completing the weld. This makes it easier to avoid pores, thermal
cracking and crater formation in the weld joint.

- Crate filling is set in the weld data setting menu under stop data.

bi24d1ea

- 22 -

GB

6.19 Burnback time

Burnback time is a delay between the time when the wire starts to brake until the
time when the power source switches off the arc voltage. Too short burnback time
results in a long wire stickout after completion of welding, with a risk of the wire being
caught in the solidifying weld pool. Too long a burnback time results in a shorter
stickout, with increased risk of the arc striking back to the contact tip.

- Burnback time is set in the weld data setting menu under stop data.

6.20 Stop phases

Stop phases are mainly used for setting crater filling.

The following can be set for Stop
phase1 ON

S Time s

Time for welding in phase 1.

S Arc voltage %

In percent of set voltage

S Wire feed %

In percent of set wire feed

S Welding current %

In percent of set welding current

S Travel speed %

In percent of set travel speed

- Stop phases are set in the weld data setting menu under stop data.

The following can be set for Stop
phase2 ON

S Time s

Time for welding in phase 2.

S Arc voltage %

In percent of set voltage

S Wire feed %

In percent of set wire feed

S Welding current %

In percent of set welding current

S Travel speed %

In percent of set travel speed

6.21 Dynamic regulation

The dynamic regulation function is developed for multiple electrode welding and
alters the characteristics of the power source. The characteristics of the power
source are calculated from the set wire data.

- Dynamic regulation is selected in the weld data setting menu.

6.22 Setting limits

The control panel can be said to comprise two units: working memory and weld data
memory.

Store

Working memory Weld data memory

Recall

In the working memory, a complete set of weld data settings is created that can be
stored in the weld data memory.

During welding, it is always the content of the working memory that controls the
process. It is therefore also possible to recall a weld data set from the weld data
memory to the working memory.

Note that the working memory always contains the most recently set weld data
settings. They can be recalled from the weld data memory or individually altered
settings. In other words, the working memory is never empty or “zeroed”.

In order to weld with two welding heads, the WELD HEAD OFFSET function must be
set.

WELD HEAD OFFSET is the distance in millimetres between the welding heads.

When you specify the distance between welding head 1 HEAD and welding head 2
TAIL, the value is recalculated by the control unit to a time between when welding
head 1 starts and welding head 2 is to start.

The time that the control unit can calculate for the distance between the starting and
stopping of the welding power sources is a maximum of 65 seconds. This means
that if, for example, 50 cm/min is specified, 2000 mm can be entered as the
maximum WELD HEAD OFFSET. This is so that time does not expire before welding
head 2 reaches the start point.

TAIL HEAD

WELD HEAD OFFSET

NOTE!

Ensure that both control units have the same settings for WELD HEAD OFFSET and
specify the same travel speed. The ”Master” control unit must be allocated HEAD
and the ”Slave” control unit TAIL. Travel motion is always controlled from ”Master”.

S Welding is complete.

8.4 Cable length

The arc voltage is affected by the impedance in the welding cables. The impedance
is affected by the length and area of the cables as well as by how they are routed.
This is especially prominent during AC welding.

Compensation for the voltage drop with long cables is maintained if the actual cable
length is specified.

The total cable length (weld cable and connector together) must be fed in.

Note! When using two cables, the areas must be combined for both cables.

This function is active during the start process before the power source has received
a measurement value that it can regulate at.

If ”Max OCV” has been selected this function is inactive.
